Overview

Home to Lord and Lady Edward Manners, Haddon Hall is one of the country’s most elegant stately homes.

Haddon invites visitors to immerse themselves in centuries of history, art and craftsmanship, and stroll around the Hall’s magnificent cascading gardens, enjoying uninterrupted views of the Peak District.

Experience the Hall’s grandeur, marvel at the rare 15th-century frescoes in the Chapel and savour the plethora of roses which shroud the limestone walls in a sonnet of pale pinks and whites.

Haddon Hall also holds a number of events and exhibitions throughout the year. With a restaurant and gift shop within the grounds, the Hall is the perfect location for a full day out.

It is the choice location for many film-makers, playing host to three versions of “Jane Eyre”, became Prince Humperdinck’s Castle in cult movie the Princess Bride and was also used in "Elizabeth”, "Pride & Prejudice” and “The Other Boleyn Girl”.

Facilities

Weddings

Haddon has been described by Simon Jenkins as ‘one of the most perfect houses to survive from the middle ages’ and certainly the setting is dreamy and brings to mind fairy tales with happily ever after endings.

The Rooms

Haddon is licensed to host civil ceremonies in two of its most magnificent rooms: the Elizabethan Long Gallery reputed to be one of the most beautiful rooms in England and the equally grand Tudor panelled Parlour.

Garden Pavillion

We have recently been given permission to host civil ceremonies in our Garden Pavilion set within the walled gardens.

After your ceremony

You are welcome to host an English tea party or glamorous drinks with canapés under a vintage marquee in the walled gardens that have been recently redesigned by the celebrated, Chelsea gold award winning landscape designer Arne Maynard.

The Party

The Peacock at Rowsley is the Haddon Estate Hotel, a five minute drive from the hall. As an award winning hotel with an outstanding restaurant this offers a wonderful wedding night retreat for a bride or groom or a wedding party pre and post ceremony place of celebration and accommodation.
